I didn't say they would be 'mad', I said that some people might have some bad feelings (there's a difference).  For example - they could be 'mad' (for lack of a better term) at themselves, for not having done more and may have made a poor choice or shot that cost them a shot or two.  Pair them up and it could potentially backfire and creep into their minds at the time of a crucial thought.  With this particular group of guys, I didn't see that happening (and I guess that's what Freddy saw, too).  I just found it interesting.

Also, just because these guys are 'professionals', doesn't mean they don't get mad or angry when they lose.  'Professional' is just a term to indicate that they make their living playing this game, it doesn't define their every moment or attitude.
